Brake Master Cylinders

Post by Spartacus »

i was hoping somebody could tell me how many hard line inputs their
master cylinder has. EG:
Rocky has 2 fronts and one for the rear
MQ has one for front an 1 for the rear

Since u can probably guess my problem--gone from 3 inputs to 2-- the question is: are there 2-1 hard line adapters made and where can i get one :?:

Give pirtek or enzed etc. a call. I imagine you will only need a T-piece Or Y-piece or something and maybe adjusting the proportioning valve. Assuming you have one that is :? If not Id be hitting up some wreckers. They're not exy.

pirtek or enzed eh might just do that. and yeh im after a T or Y piece for the hardlines

The way the car is set up is 2 direct lines from the master cylinder to the front calipers, and a single line goin to the rear drums.

In between the two outlets (front and rear) there should be a screw or dial valve that allows the adjustment of bias between front and rear brakes. (at least there is on my cruiser but MQs may be different). Give it a try anyway and see if it works properly. If it does then :armsup: .
If not look into attaching one. Hopefully it will work OK without one......

I don't know if pirtek or enzed will do that, they wouldn't make my flexi brake lines - alternatively give BHSS a call on abbortsford st at Bowen Hills they will be able to help you.

You will definately need some form or proportioning valve or limiting valve there - otherwise you will be locking your back brakes up long before the fronts

BHSS is the name they go by, not sure what it stands for but they are "the" brake engineering company in brisbane, if you ever need some thing sleved and machined, axles, master cylinders etc they end up there, most places sub out to BHSS alternatively Slacks Creek Brake and Clutch are fantastic as well, they do 99% of things themselves.

I use BHSS because they are close to work and do a fantastic job, made me 2x flexi brake hoses for my sisters peugeot 306 which required them to pull the old hoses apart and uses the old pug mounting gear, cost me $88 total including for the hoses - walk in off the street price.

Excellent value and top work
